Stuc a Chroin via Beinn Each - Munro Bagging

A tale of failure and success in my attempts to bag the munro Stuc a Chroin in the southern Trossachs. Via Beinn Each, I followed a route from Loch Lubnaig near Callander, up through the peaceful Glen Ample and up the steep slopes of Beinn Each. An undulating walk followed along the rocky ridge that connected to Stuc a Chroin.
A fantastic viewpoint over the central belt and to other nearby Munros, not least, the much loved Ben Vorlich (Loch Earn) next door.
Not every adventure goes according to plan, but it just makes it all the better when they do.
I hope you enjoy!
Kris.

    Me and Monty were talking about how good your videos are up the Praying Hands on Saturday. Once again you've filmed the mountains of Scotland beautifully. It must take a lot of effort to film this and then the hours editing it. Hope you're going to take your tent with you on some more trips. The wild camp you done above the clouds last year was a fantastic watch. ATB Mate.

Well done Kris nothing worse than having to turn back done it many many times over the years myself although very annoying while you mull over it during the drive back home it also redoubles your resolve to get back up there ASAP! Your filming has opened up at how much a harder walk this one is not a simple days jaunt by any means. Brilliant bit of filming and narration again mate look forward to your next one, peter.
